How do you guys do that?

These look great Chris. I especially like the Greenshank. May I ask what lens you are using with the D7000?

I suspect that many people will not like this, but the original image was taken mid afternoon, looking towards the light and I was experimenting with Topaz filters in Photoshop trying to improve it and stumbled upon this by accident. I quite like the effect it produced. Anyway, comments...

Nice shots, although aren't your Kittiwakes actually Razorbills?

Both were Wood Pigeons. I sometimes have 8 in my garden. They've even learnt how to use the feeders.

Alternatively titled, '2 reasons for not cleaning your windows'. Sadly image 2 was a casualty, but number 1 lived to tell the tale. Thanks for looking.

Had a quick trip down to the coast on my birthday hoping to find the Little Terns. Only saw one at distance sadly. The light wasn't very inspiring I'm afraid as can be seen in 1 and 2. Anyway, comments appreciated on the BIF shots of the Blackheaded Gulls. 1. 2. 3.

Just captured this one in Sicily. Not absolutely sure what it is, but I'm thinking it may be a Serin. It's a bit of an extreme crop I'm afraid. Thanks, Alan.

Managed to capture a pair of Common Terns squabbling over a sandeel and providing me with some breathtaking high speed aerobatics. I hope you like them. Alan.

The title says it all.
